Alligator laying in the backyard of someones house! Across the water from the putting green!
Our friends – Jim – Dottie – Buck and Cindy – came for a visit!
And we planned to golf two different days!
The last day was at Oyster Bay – not very far from Calabash
The Seafood capital of the world
and home to many – many “GATORS” on the course!
BIG GATORS!
Jim & Buck
We had a gals vs guys match
and off we went –
I had listened to other players who had finished
talking to the starter about the “GATORS”
and how big they were!
Just laying there almost seemed it was dead until it moved its head!
We saw them a lot – esp. on the middle holes!
The ladies putting behind us – we were able to tell them where the “GATORS” were.
One par three – surrounded by water – except a small walking path
lined with flowers and tall bushes
kind of sketchy walking through there
had a drop zone right next to the green.
And a large sand trap.
Well – right next to the drop zone lay a six foot gator!
Dottie actually hit her ball and it landed on the green and rolled into the drop zone!
Where she left it for some future golfer to find as it ws too close
to that six foot gator!
We had a good time regardless –
you just did not look for golf balls as I think snakes are also here!
Me taking a picture of Jimmy taking a picture of two gators – one to his left and one to his right – the one on the left was very big!Cindy about to hit from the fairway – they are always in the middle which makes it so hard to beat them!Sherry lining up her putt – they also are always putting for either birdie or par!Jimmy hitting his Tee shot. Look close in the middle just between the fairway and trees – his ball going down the middle!Dottie playing her approach shot two strokes from there for par.The “GATOR” laying next to the sand trap and drop zone!They pared this hole!Beautiful but a lot of “GATORS” in there!People live here despite the “GATORS”!
We enjoyed this course despite the “GATORS”
being a fun course to play.
Lots of fairways and marsh – small lakes – water everywhere!
Again right down the middle!My co – pilot – Buck!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World
WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY
FAMILY MEETS FRIENDS!

Sherry Dottie Jim Buck Cindy Papa – at Wild Wings in Barefoot Landing – to watch the Buffalo Bills football game – they put on special for us TWO TV’S!
It was a long – long time ago that Sherry and I were Bill’s fans!
Back in the late ’80’s to late ’90’s!
But then we moved and for three years we hung on –
But – to watch them we had to travel some 30 miles –
In D.C. traffic to find a sports bar that would show the games!
Sherry and Dottie
‘We eventually adopred the Washington DC team as EVERYTHING
was all about them – newspapers – radio – TV – and people!
Yes – we became fans – but our hearts where still BILL’S fans.
We would cheer for them from a distance.
However – our very close friends are still and have been
BUFFALO BILL’S fans – watching them every Sunday!
Barefoot Landing North Myrtle Beach S.C.
We searched out the area – and found several sports bars
a couple were Bill’s Bars – but I found out they would be packed
and they were small venues –
NO SOCIAL DISTANCING there even if we tried!
Speak no evil – see no evil & hear no evil!
Sherry and I had checked out Wild Wings the week before
and come to find out – THREE of their employees
had graduated in 2016 from the very H.S.
in the place we raised our families –
The McBrides and us –
PORTVILLE N.Y. !
Sherry Dottie Cindy
That was a omen for us and we went with it !
Plus – it was very large inside –
plenty of places to sit and they put two TV’s on with the Bill’s Game!
We did our morning walk on the beach –
then drove the less than twenty minute ride
and arrived about 1/2 hour before game time!
Cindy and Buck
We gave our orders to start out with and settled in!
Papa Jim Buck
We watched the game – the whole game from there!
22 oz. drafts and all!
It never got crowded – for this is a Brown’s bar –
we knew that ahead of time –
but they had a bye week!
Success – the BILL’S MAKE YOU WANT TO SHOUT! OH MY!!!!!
